Capture the breathtaking landscape of the Grampians with a spectacular helicopter ride. And you guessed it, the sky’s the limit

Grampians Helicopters is an award-winning business with something different on offer. There’s not many places around Australia where you have the opportunity to fly over a National Park, land at a 150-year-old winery or two or land at a ‘2 Hats’ restaurant.

How could you pass the opportunity of landing at an olive grove or venturing over to the Pyrenees ranges to experience their wine region. Or you could just rock up to a picnic place and instead of parking your car, you safely land and jump out of the helicopter for a good old-fashioned picnic.

Your pilot, Justin, has a reputation built on his safe and flawless flying record. He was born and raised in the area and shares a passion for the Grampians.

The Grampians seems to “capture people”, drawing them back time and time again to the area.

The area captures not just the imagination of people, with its diverse natural beauty—wildlife, waterfalls, breathtaking and rugged landscape, but it also offers great dining, art galleries and is a magic place to relax and unwind. The air is clean and as you inhale you feel “heady” and exhilarated in the same moment.

The word is now out about The Grampians as overseas visitors flock to the area to get a taste of what we have sitting in our backyard. The National Park is spectacular at anytime, however, flying over the park taking in Justin’s professional and humorous stories of the area gives a totally different perspective.

Kangaroos, emus and koalas surprise visitors time and time again. Justin’s knowledge is amazing and he provides an amazing commentary as you sore above the trees.

Grampian Helicopters offers over 20 flight/tours and are happy to customise tours. Imagine surprising someone special, as Justin lands, picking you up right at your doorstep. The beautiful Aurora Cottages five-star accommodation allows you to land at their premises and whisk you away for your own bird’s eye view. (www.auroracottages.com.au)

Dear Reader,

The Indian Sun is an independent organisation committed to community journalism. We have, through the years, been able to reach a wide audience especially with the growth of social media, where we also have a strong presence. With platforms such as YouTube videos, we have been able to engage in different forms of storytelling. However, the past few years, like many media organisations around the world, it has not been an easy path. We have a greater challenge. We believe community journalism is very important for a multicultural country like Australia. We’re not able to do everything, but we aim for some of the most interesting stories and journalism of quality. We call upon readers like you to support us and make any contribution. Do make a DONATION NOW so we can continue with the volume and quality journalism that we are able to practice.

Thank you for your support.

Best wishes,
Team The Indian Sun
